Party Discipline

Seems like I read something ( sorry I cannot provide the link ) which illustrates how they keep members of Congress in line:   If you don't vote the right way, you get crummy committee assignments.

Why not retaliate for this?  If you get a crummy committee assignment, then threaten to not vote for Bonehead for Speaker.  If nobody else is nominated on the GOP side, then threaten to vote for Pelosi!  If that gets you booted from the so-called party, then join the Libertarians.  If there's no Libertarians in Congress, then be willing to be the only one.  At least the Libertarians might like you.

You don't need their friendship if their friendship costs too much.  Selling your soul isn't worth the world, you know.
